Remind me not to send you anything that contains 'I hope you would like it'... that's a bad solution IMO.

Chen AvinadavBetter to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Filtering on the subject won't help, because the worm puts together phrases randomly for its subject and message. It's even sending out messages saying the attachment is a fix for the Klez and messages stamped as certified virus free. It's lasted so long because of its ability to change its messages and also to grab the "from" address from the address book. It will execute in unpatched versions of Outlook, Outlook Express, and Eudora (if set to use IE for HTML messages) by simply opening the file.

I used to use Calypso, xiphoid. A great mailer, way ahead of its time, that MCS Dallas unfortunately didn't have a clue how to market. Now, I use The Bat! which also won't execute these worms and is also a great mailer, but it doesn't keep people from opening the attachments, because the messages appear to be from trusted sources.

Here's an interesting take from The Register on why Klez hasn't gotten much media attention.

lol, lucky..

we do virus checking on our mailserver, and each time a virus is received, a copy saying "bla bla bla ifnected bla bla bla from some@where.com" is sent to the receiving user, and a copy to the originating email

the annoying thing is i get around 20 of them per hour
it wasn't even remotely as fun as during the SirCam days though, when we didn't have the virus scanner installed on the mailserver

i could, at any time of the day, hit send & receive, and know i'd get a sircam email in the mailbox, and with the attachments ranging up to well over 30mb, i'm glad i don't have a quota on my downloads
